    I'm less than 100 miles to the dreaded 75,000 when my platinum warranty runs out and I'm on my own! Is there anything I can have checked before the warranty runs out within days??

    Thanks...

    Make sure it has a Toyota badge each end and in the middle of the steering wheel, if it has it should be fine for a very long time.

    Don't let that gas tank go dry on you. I've heard that is will cost a fortune to replace a battery, if drained too low.:eek:

    Drain and replace the WS transaxle fluid. If analysis of the old fluid is really yucky, then you might clamor for a replacement.

    An unlikely scenario, and perhaps it involves tilting at windmills, but hey you asked.

    Much more likely as Pat suggests, that what will happen now is - nothing.

    Platinum plan -- 75,000 or 100,000? I thought mine said 100k. No?

    Platinum designates the level of coverage, not the length. You can buy the Platinum extended service contract for various numbers of years and miles.
